Clark-hurth 675C 1978 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs for Front End Loader

If you’ve ever ordered a seal kit for a 675C and ended up with something that fits a 55A, you know the difference. This is the real thing: factory Clark-hurth 675C 1978 Parts Catalog, printed in 1978, 210 pages of part numbers and exploded views.

Parts Breakdown by Serial Number – 675C Cummins 436D

Page 1 of this manual tells you exactly which serial numbers it covers: 675C Cummins 436D. That’s the first thing you check before ordering any part. The book is organized by machine serial number, not by model year – because Clark-hurth knew that running changes happen mid-production. You get the correct part for your specific loader. For another model with similar scope, check the Clark-hurth L320 1991 Parts Catalog – 690 Pages OEM Specs.

Clark-hurth Warranty Language – What It Means for Your Shop

The warranty section starts on page 3. Yes, it’s the original factory warranty – six months on parts and labor, subject to abuse and maintenance clauses. For a shop that’s rebuilding a 1978 loader, knowing what Clark-hurth considered ‘failure to maintain’ matters when you’re sourcing OEM replacement parts. Aftermarket catalogs don’t include this context.

210 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

This manual runs 210 pages. That’s not a reprint or a scan of a scan – it’s the original factory printing. Every page is a numbered illustration with corresponding part numbers. You see the part, you get the number. No cross-referencing to aftermarket databases that might have swapped a bearing for a bushing. This manual is a snapshot of 1978 Clark-hurth engineering – part of the broader Automotive Industry Overview for heavy equipment.

Why OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Indexes

Aftermarket indexes are built by people who never turned a wrench. They copy from other copies. Errors compound. This manual came from Clark-hurth’s engineering department in 1978. It’s the source. When you need to know if a part was superseded, or if a bolt grade changed mid-production, the factory catalog is the only record. For a deeper understanding of how these components fit into the broader Internal Combustion Engine architecture, you’d want the service manual too, but the parts catalog is the foundation. I’ve had techs bring me aftermarket catalogs where the hydraulic pump listed for a 675C turned out to be for a 55A because someone transposed two digits. That costs you a week of downtime waiting for the right part. With the factory catalog, you verify part numbers against the illustrations. It’s slower but it’s right.

How to Use This Manual on the Bench

Lay it open next to the loader. Find the assembly group for transmission, differential, or hydraulic pump. The drawings are exploded views. Every item has a reference number that maps to a parts list. You’ll see the part number, description, quantity used, and sometimes a note like ‘use with serial number 436D above’. That’s the level of detail that keeps a job from stalling because you ordered the wrong O-ring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities.

Will this manual help me identify parts for a 675C that has been modified or rebuilt with non-OEM components?

That depends. If the original parts were replaced with Clark-hurth parts, yes – you can use the illustrations and part numbers to cross-reference. If the previous owner used aftermarket parts from a different manufacturer, you’ll need to measure and compare. The manual shows the factory dimensions and mounting points. You can use those to figure out what non-OEM part might fit, but that’s your call. I’d recommend buying a second manual for Clark-hurth 85A, 85A1 1978 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs if you’re dealing with multiple models.

You need the right part the first time. That’s what this manual delivers. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact Clark-hurth part numbers for your 675C.
